add your maven pom.xml, atleast dependencies. – Cuttle

added actually <dependency> <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId> <artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId> <version>3.11.0</version> </dependency> ,it has already in my .pom file , there is no syntax error in my code also. – Dynatron

Are you sure that browserName equals "chrome" ?. Remember about case-sensitivity. Change to "String browserName =prop.getProperty("browser").toLowerCase();". And this should be void, your code doesn't return WebDriver. And you don't handle other browsers. – Cuttle

No it is not the msitake , i printed out, it enters the loop.driver=new ChromeDriver(); this line i think the problem occur i syssout line before after then.it printed out before but not after – Dynatron

The reason for this problem is guava library.

This problem got solved by adding the guava library in maven pom.xml

    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.google.guava</groupId>
        <artifactId>guava</artifactId>
        <version>31.0.1-jre</version>
    </dependency>

One of my friend was also facing this issue and adding this library took care of it as that method ImmutableMap comes from guava

Pasting the error message as well so people will land here as many will have same problem

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.google.common.collect.ImmutableMap.of(Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Object;)Lcom/google/common/collect/ImmutableMap;

I have the same NoSuchMethodError in selenium 4.1.2, but not in 4.1.1 – Streeter

I've created an issue at github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/issues/10324 – Streeter

Many thanks Gaurav!! your solution with the guava library solved my problem after several hours of unsuccessful debugging! – Argile

Make sure to not include the <type>bundle</type> part in the snippet, that gave me a "Missing artifact com.google.guava:guava:bundle:31.1-jre https://mcmap.net/q/492509/-errors-in-pom-xml-with-dependencies-missing-artifact – Grievance

Answer 2

The file com/google/common/collect/ImmutableMap might be corrupted:

Deploying Maven project throws java.util.zip.ZipException: invalid LOC header (bad signature)

If you are using eclipse and want to check whether this file is corrupted just try to open it. It is located in the guava maven dependency. If it is corrupted it will show you invalid LOC header (bad signature).

Then locate the locate the .m2 folder, search for the corrupted file and delete it. Finally run a maven update.

That solved the problem for me.
